Wait...
Then what's the justification for restricting the Circuit Judge? It's not semi-auto.

Because it's built on the same frame as a pistol, so in you could legally purchase the parts to turn it into a Taurus Judge.
The Lazer is different, because it's not built on the same frame as an existing pistol, so you can't turn it into a pistol by changing the barrel and grip, you'd have to break the law by using a hacksaw to modify the shotgun into an illegal, unregistered pistol.
And we all know that people who want illegal guns wouldn't stoop to breaking the law to get them.

I guess that explains why the mare's leg isn't classified as restricted, if they did that it would retroactively restrict every lever action in the country since then they could all be made into a restricted weapon with a parts swap.

No, that's another weird thing, having the parts available and even owning them doesn't matter unless you use them.
There's a few guns out there, like my KP/31 and this little Polish PDW, that are non-restricted because they have 18.5" barrels made specifically for the commercial market, but you can get short barrels easily, even from the same dealers who sell the non-restricted guns.
I singled out those two because they have quick change barrels, so by design it's easy to change the barrel without tools. Legally there's nothing stopping me from owning an original or repro 12.5" barrel for my KP/31, provided I don't install it without calling the RCMP to register and reclassify it as restricted first.

I hate your laws more than I hate ours.

At least it's not like California, I don't have to field strip my rifles to load them, and I'm allowed to have a pistol grip, muzzle device, and a shoulder thing that goes up, all on the same rifle.

I'm not sure why anybody lives in California. It's a huge no fun allowed state even if you take away the gun laws.

Yeah, there's been more than a few things that have affected even me that started off in California.
Did you hear they wanted to put cancer warnings on coffee?

That doesn't surprise me. We should see warning labels on fast food and soda pop eventually too. Probably also on any meat product.
I'm already sick of seeing the label of "This product contains lead. A substance determined by the state of California to cause birth defects in children" on every fishing lure. Like California discovered that.

Anything that's cooked.
This reminds me actually, recently there's been a ban on the commercial sale of paint strippers in the US containing a certain chemical, I can't remember what it's called, but it's in the paint stripper I like to use on some rifle stocks, since it draws out Cosmoline and removes old finishes really easily without damaging the wood.
It's because a number of people in the past few years have died from exposure to the fumes. In every case I heard about it was someone using it while working on a bathtub, in a room with no ventilation, without wearing a respirator, and some of them were even professional contractors too, people who ought to know better. In one case I read about the guy applied the stuff to the tub, closed the bathroom door, and then leaned over it to start working.

I haven't heard anything about that.
I'm sure the product has directions to use in a well ventilated area (probably in very bold font) and it's not the only chemical that is potentially deadly that is available to us.

The stuff I have says very clearly not to use in enclose spaces with poor ventilation, that should be obvious anyway since it smells like acrid chemical death. It amazes me that anyone would think it's okay to dump a can into a bathtub, in a tiny room with now windows, close the door, and kneel over the stuff while it's still fresh.
